Awesome. Kids’ paradise!
Great property. Clean and spacious. Lots of things for the kids to do. The zipline was a huge hit. Hot tub was amazing and very clean. Was right beside some incredible mountain biking. There was also a fantastic running path right down the road that dogs can run off leash. The house itself was perfect. Lots of room for the kids to play and sleep comfortably. The ping pong table was also a nice touch. Would definitely stay here again. Probably one of the best houses we have ever rented on VRBO.

Family holiday
We had a wonderful time. The pictures don't do the house justice! The kitchen was so well stocked, the beds were really comfortable and the view was terrific! The grandchildren loved the trampoline, the zip line and the playroom stocked with loads of small toys. The games and books were appreciated too! We'd love to come back! Thank you to the Leishmans.

Quiet beautiful retreat
We met up with family and hung out for 10 days and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were able to relax and spread out with a beautiful view. It was an easy kitchen to cook in and there were also plenty of restaurants nearby that had food to please all of the various dietary requirements in our group. We would love to return someday!

Beautiful part of the world and this property matched it's surroundings perfectly for two families.
We were based perfectly to be able to access all of what B.C. had to offer. We didn't need to drive more than an hour to get to activities such as the zip wire and white water rafting and the town was only 5 mins drive away. Mountain biking on the doorstep and gentle forest walks for those who didn't need the adrenalin rush. Lakeside beaches within easy reach. The property itself offered great space for 8. Children had their own areas of interest and adults had space for reading and relaxing on lazy days. The outside space has struggled to look after itself but activities in the surrounding area took us out everyday. We enjoyed a glorious 3 weeks of watching wildlife from the balcony in the morning and spotted a bear out driving! Even the Kokanee Salmon spawning was timed beautifully. If the smoke from localised forest fires hadn't filled the landscape in the remaining week with dense smoke we would have been truly sorry to leave. We hope the fires dont blight this beautiful landscape the same way every summer. Thanks to the owner for clearing way our rubbish every week and it was great to meet Tricksy the dog! We loved the soft water and eco-friendly environment. We will take what we've learned back to London. Thank you for letting out your home to us!

Living in a dream!
The house was amazing and is an absolutely perfect way to experience Nelson. Would highly recommend for any groups large enough to fit this beautiful place. The patio and view are incredible. The space is peaceful and calming. The master bedroom is AMAZING!

Great place! Wonderful weekend!
This house is exactly as advertised. It had many rooms for 6 of us and much more space was available. The location is out of the way but it is very relaxing with a great view. The hot tub is smaller but a great feature. Wonderful weekend with friends!
